Introduction: Throughout history, all the groups, sects and congregations that once had dignity and prestige, after many ups and downs, went to decay and lost their place. In the previous articles, we tried to express the opinions and beliefs of this group (Morjaeh). In this part, which is almost at the end, we are going to discuss the status of this sect during the Umayyad and Abbasid caliphates and the decline of this sect.
1- Umayyad caliphate period
Most of the researchers considered Morjaeh as a co-creator and along with the Umayyads, and some have introduced them against them. These researchers wrote: “Contrary to the common saying that Morjaeh served the Umayyads and was considered the Umayyad sect, history shows that many of them acted against the Umayyads. In addition, the Ahl al-Hadith who continued the path of the Umayyads, followed them and wrote many materials against several sects, including Murjia’h. If the reference was really an Umayyad sect, surely the Ahl al-Hadith, as the defenders of the Umayyad state, would not allow the slightest insult to them.
Among the Morjaeh groups, the Khalsa Morjaeh were among the supporters of the caliphs and rulers of the time, but the Morjaeh of Qadiria and Jabrieh were opponents of the tyrannical rulers and fought against them. Among them, the following people can be named:
Saeed bin Jubir: He was a reciter of the Qur’an, a muhaddith and a jurist during the period of Abdul Malik bin Marwan.
Hajjaj, the ruler of Iraq during the period of Abd al-Malik, at the beginning supported the Morjaeh assemblies and entrusted key officials to Saeed bin Jubir Kufi. But Hajjaj’s behavior was not compatible with the mood of believers, so that a difference arose between him and Morjaeh. For this reason, when Abd al-Rahman bin Ash’ath called the Kufas to support him, the people of Kufa joined him with Quran reciters and other scholars. Abd al Rahman bin Ash’ath in the year 80 AH. He went to the position of commander of the Umayyad forces to achieve new conquests in the Islamic East region. After some events, Hajjaj’s insistence on continuing the conquests caused the relationship between Abd al-Rahman and Hajjaj to break, and Abd al-Rahman rebelled against Hajjaj. The people of Iraq, who had a reason to oppose the Hajjaj and the Umayyads, accepted his call to the Book and Sunnah of Allah and His Messenger, and to reject the misguided caliphs and fight against the infidels.
Among the rebels, there was a group of reciters and jurists of this country and also from the Morjaeh sect, which ended in the year (83 Hijri).
Saeed bin Jubir was among the first revolutionary and fighters who went out with Abd al-Rahman in 81 Hijri and deposed Hajjaj bin Yusuf. Saeed spoke openly about the mistreatment and oppression of the Umayyads and attributed them to cutting off Islam and throwing it away. Ibn Sa’d says: “On the day of Deer Jamajam, he said to the fighters: “They should fight with Bani Umayyah because of their arbitrariness in government, leaving this group against Allah’s servants, trampling on prayer and humiliating Muslims.” After the defeat, he went to Makkah and stayed there, and at the request of the pilgrims and by the order of Walid bin Abdul Malik, he was arrested and killed.
